Use "svn status" instead?

Getting another package is probably an easier solution, however...

The Subversion libraries are binary compatible so the binary from the
standard Ubuntu package should work with the libraries from the Eclipse
package. Extract the binary and put it somewhere on your PATH. Ubuntu
changes the so-version of the libsvn libraries, if the Eclipse package
doesn't do the same you would need to create some library symlinks as
well.
